We’re back today with another gift guide! Today we are chatting about gifts for kids. Now I do not have any children of my own, but I do have small nephews I buy for. When I buy for them I have a few rules; nothing to do with a screen, something that will interest them longer than a few weeks/months, nothing that is objectively annoying (noisy/overstimulating lights/etc). I also love gifting them experiences or things that encourage imaginative play.
Let’s take a look at some of the best gift ideas for kids for 2024.
Indoor Toddler Slide
Now some parents may not *love* this. However, I have two nephews that act like every day is a WWE smackdown. I think this would be so fun specifically for kids who have a Nugget at home (IYKYK). It’s a great way to get energy out indoors during the long winters.
Anywhere Lounger
I have mentioned the Anywhere Chair in the past, which I have gotten both of our nephews previously. They absolutely love them and the one has used his for 5 years now! I decided to share this one as I think it may appeal more to kids a bit older.
LEGO Classic Set
LEGO will never go out of style! While there are so many amazing sets out there – I think it’s great to have a box of LEGOs that encourages free play. I had one of these boxes as a kid and the hours I spent playing were endless! Just watch your feet in the play space 😉
Kanoodle Puzzle Game
This game is so fun (for kids an adults). I purchased this for myself a while ago, but my 6-year-old nephew loves it too! It’s definitely better for kids at least over 6, in my opinion. I also love that you can easily take this on the go.
Couch Swag Play Panels
This is another fun gift idea for the kids who have Nugget couches at home! There are tons of different designs that are perfect for a variety of interests. My nephews are always asking us to make new Nugget designs for them so this would certainly come in handy!
Beginner Sewing Machine Kit
When I was little I had a mini sewing machine like this and I absolutely loved it! I really like that this includes some fabric, and guide book, and everything else you may need. This is so fun for an older creative kid who wants to learn a life skill.
Art Easel
An art easel is a gift that kids will use for years! So many possibilities for play, learning, and beyond. I especially love that this one is also magnetic and has a sport for a paper roll.
Botley the Coding Robot
I love that there are so many coding toys and games for kids out there! My husband is a software engineer, so this is something that I’ve realized is important to kids to learn about. Plus this is a great price, in my opinion. And I am sure it would provide hours of entertainment.
Ticket to Ride First Journey
My husband and I love the game Ticket to Ride! It is definitely a complex game, so it’s awesome they have one geared toward kids as well. I personally love a good board game and always have. It’s something that will stay in your home for years and encourage family bonding.
Pinball Machine Maker
I think this is such a cool gift idea and has a lot of replay-ability (if that’s a word). This set allows kids to experiment and switch up their very own pinball machine! I love that this would also work for a pretty large age group.
